    Are you talking about the Hilux or Celica?

    Well it is mainly straight. It does have a few dents but nothing major. It also has some rust holes in the floorboard but nothing that cant be patched. I just need to sand it down and get that crap paint off of it.

    The Hilux, the ones I have in mine I am pretty sure came from somewhere else. I need to know what they look like and then find some others.

    Here's what mine looks like. Showing you the passenger side since the driver side arm rest is a little mangled.

    Hope this helps.

    Love the celica bro. What year is that? Nice door panel. I wonder if those window roller handles would work in mine

    Well just like I thought, the ones in my truck are different.

    Does anyone have any stock door handles?

    I have the black door pulls. They're not perfect, but they're available.

    Sweet, dude. :D I think you are in my area too right. I have seen your truck at a local show. You also know a good friend of mine too.

    Well here is a current pic of my Lux. Have done a few little things even though it doesn't look like it.

    Also, a big thanks to LoLux for all my new goodies.... I will be putting these on real soon.

    No, those are factory side markers.

    I really dislike how the base of the tray sits higher than the cab... any plans to address that, as others have?

    Oh, you mean the bottom of the bed sides. No, I plan to leave the body pretty much stock.

    The only exterior plans I have are fender mirrors and a front lip spolier.

    Agree on the mirrors for sure. I have a front lip on my B210 and it certainly suits cars of this age.

    Don't think I've seen one on an RN1x though.

    That looks great but I was thinking of something a little bigger, like what you see on modified TE27's and 1st gen Celicas.

    Well I took advantage of the really warm weather and put a few more parts on the hilux. As long as I keep moving forward I fell good.

    Well I finally pulled the block from the car I was selling and got it up on a engine stand. Now I just have to tear into it and see if it is any good.

    Well a new development has happened. My ex and I are in the final stages of our divorce, but we are still keeping it friendly...really, LOL. Well her 4cyl T100 ate it's clutch recently. Well she got her a newer car to drive around and the truck has been sitting. Well today out of an act of kindness she offered me it's engine and such for my 71 Hilux. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it but I think now I do, as long as it will fit. Does anyone have any info on the physical size or the 2RZ/3RZ motors so I can compare it to my lux's engine bay and see if this is even possible.
